Who we are?
Welcome to the Food and Agriculture Sustainable Supply and Transportation Laboratory (FASST Lab), a research-driven initiative dedicated to advancing sustainable supply chain solutions for the food and agriculture sectors. Our lab focuses on developing innovative models and data-driven strategies to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of supply chains that impact global food systems.
Led by Dr. Caroline Krejci, our team of researchers, students, and industry collaborators work on projects that address critical challenges in food production, distribution, and waste management. Through agent-based modeling (ABM), simulation techniques, and real-world case studies, we explore ways to optimize supply chain operations while balancing economic, environmental, and social factors.
Our research spans key areas such as:
- Sustainable Food Supply Chains – Investigating efficient and environmentally responsible methods of food production, transportation, and distribution.
- Inventory and Production Management – Developing decision-support tools to help businesses manage replenishment, demand forecasting, and competitive market dynamics.
- Technology-Driven Solutions – Exploring the role of emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and IoT in optimizing agricultural logistics and reducing food waste.
- Collaborative Learning & Industry Engagement – Engaging with students, businesses, and policymakers to translate research into actionable solutions.
At FASST Lab, we believe that sustainable supply chain innovation is key to addressing the pressing challenges of food security, climate change, and resource efficiency. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and applied research, we strive to contribute meaningful advancements to the field.
We welcome students, industry partners, and researchers to connect with us, explore our projects, and join our mission to create a more sustainable future for food and agriculture supply chains.
